Palgrave Studies in Classical Liberalism

About this series

This
series offers a forum to writers concerned that the central presuppositions of
the liberal tradition have been severely corroded, neglected, or
misappropriated by overly rationalistic and constructivist approaches.

The
hardest-won achievement of the liberal tradition has been the wrestling of
epistemic independence from overwhelming concentrations of power, monopolies
and capricious zealotries. The very precondition of knowledge is the
exploitation of the epistemic virtues accorded by society’s situated and
distributed manifold of spontaneous orders, the DNA of the modern civil
condition.

With
the confluence of interest in situated and distributed liberalism emanating
from the Scottish tradition, Austrian and behavioral economics, non-Cartesian
philosophy and moral psychology, the editors are soliciting proposals that
speak to this multidisciplinary constituency. Sole or joint authorship
submissions are welcome as are edited collections (conference proceedings
excluded), broadly theoretical or topical in nature.
